Abstract
Due to environmental concerns, exhaust emissions and fuel consumption of vehicles will have to improve considerably in the next 10 years. New technologies for gasoline engines such as downsizing with high boosting, direct injection and fully variable valve train systems are being developed. For diesel engines, improved components including piezoelectric injectors, particle filters and DeNOx catalyst systems are expected.
